RTO Hyderabad recovers huge quantity of untaxed goods

Business Recorder reported that tax officials at the Regional Tax Office in Hyderabad stopped eight commercial vehicles over the past eight days and seized a large volume of goods on which tax had not been paid. The crackdown concentrated on transporters who failed to meet digital invoicing rules under Section 40c and the Third Schedule. Several shipments could not show the digital sales tax invoices that the law requires.

Three vehicles carrying poultry feed were seized, while five others hauling beverages, fertilizer and plastic mats were impounded for similar digital invoicing violations. A shipment of motorbikes was also held because the transporter presented just a manual sales tax invoice, which does not meet Third Schedule requirements.

All detained vehicles and their goods were moved to an official warehouse. The RTO has started further checks and inquiries into the consignments, and legal action will be taken according to applicable statutes.
